Under ubuntu they are only detected as outputs, but not as microphone. in the audio settings I can select the output to be one of: internal speakers, hdmi monitor, or these headphones. The only input is the internal microphone of the laptop. When I make a call with microsoft teams, the other end confirms that they hear the sound from the room. The headphones are similar to these: https://www.ebay.com/itm /Earphones-Handsfree-Headphones-for-Samsung- Galaxy-S8-A5-A7-A8-A9-J1-J3-J5-J7-UK/163465454907 with a connector with four segments. I also tried another set of headphones, different brand, same behaviour: work fine in other devices, work as output-only in ubuntu ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: pulseaudio 1:13.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-23.25-generic 5.3.7 Uname: Linux 5.3.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: peter 1577 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: peter 1577 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Dec 9 11:00:07 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-11-14 (24 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Release amd64 (20191017) SourcePackage: pulseaudio UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 07/22/2019 dmi.bios.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.bios.version: 187.0.0.0.0 dmi.board.name: Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 dmi.board.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.board.version: MacBookPro12,1 dmi.chassis.type: 9 dmi.chassis.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.chassis.version: Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAppleInc.:bvr187.0.0.0.0:bd07/22/2019:svnAppleInc.:pnMacBookPro12,1:pvr1.0:rvnAppleInc.:rnMac-E43C1C25D4880AD6:rvrMacBookPro12,1:cvnAppleInc.:ct9:cvrMac-E43C1C25D4880AD6: dmi.product.family: MacBook Pro dmi.product.name: MacBookPro12,1 dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: Apple Inc.
